He accuses me of being proud because of providing for the family and is always cursing me. 

Dear woman of God,
I am a married woman of 50 years, and have been married for 24 years.  I had 3 children but 1 passed away.  My husband lost his job in 2000, and from then he started drinking heavily and misbehaving.  I have been the bread-winner until last year when he was employed again, but up to now I am like the bread-winner.  He accuses me of being proud because of providing for the family and is always cursing me. 

His wishes are the following:
1. for me to be fired from work
2. for me to get sick
3. for me to reach old age immediately.

I have been praying hard for him to leave me, since we have 2 houses.  I have been to the court but nothing happened, he says I should go to a higher court and divorce him and then I will be made to pay him compensation, BUT ALL  I NEED IS FOR HIM TO MOVE OUT OF THE HOUSE, and I pray to God to remain enriching my spiritual life, as I have lost interest in all the worldly activities, I just want to work for my God. 

Please pray with me for him just to leave me, not anything bad to happen to him, but for us to live separate lives,  when he is drunk he makes a lot of noise, and always chews in his sleep which makes me stay awake all night, and in the morning I have to come for work.  Man of God I feel tormented and I do not know what to do with this marriage. Please pray with me.

Pastor Deola responds to you.

Dear Rachel,
I am so sorry you have found yourself in such a painful situation.

I believe this call for spiritual warfare. Instead of seeing your husband as responsible for all your ills, see the devil as responsible. Through fasting and prayer it is possible for your husband to be delivered from the hold of Satan who has taken him captive.

Do you have some Christian friends who can join you in spending some time fasting and praying for the salvation and deliverance of his soul?

The other thing I would like you to do is to change your confession about him, when he curses you, you should bless him. I know this is easier said than done, but it can be done and should be done as this is the only way you will find lasting peace.

Is there anybody your husband respects who may help the two of you resolve your differences? Please ask this person for help after you have spent some time fasting and praying. I suggest you fast for 3days.

I pray that things will work out between the two of you.
It is well with you.

In Christ's love,
Pastor Deola
